How difficult would it be for you to resist climbing these steps to discover what lies beyond the dark passage in the distance? Connection and mystery are two powerful tools that designers use in the landscape. We create elements that suggest action, like ascending stairs or following a path. But it would be dull indeed if the landscape explorer could see every step along the way to her destination. Just as in a story, there must be parts that remain unclear to keep our curiosity and desire alive.
